Job Description

Posted on: August 23, 2025

We are in search of a Product Manager / Co-Founder who can dedicate at least 15 hours per week. This is not a freelance gig. We are looking for someone who wants to build and own Benno AI with us.

Cash compensation is limited at this stage, but as part of our founder collective, you will earn ownership in the same way as every other founder of the company.

ABOUT BENNO AI

Benno AI is your AI-powered productivity coach. It plans, schedules, and — uniquely — keeps people motivated through AI-driven gamification and blockchain rewards.

We are transforming how people work by combining:

  • AI planning (Goal Pyramids & Focus Cycles)
  • AI motivation (WorkCoins & gamified feedback)
  • Simple, Duolingo-style design that makes productivity fun

Our team includes engineers, designers, psychologists, and entrepreneurs from Canada, USA, India, Germany, Brazil, and beyond. Now, we are looking for a dedicated product manager to join as co-founder and help us move Benno to the next level.

DAO ORGANIZATION

We are organized as a founder cooperative. More than 15 founders already co-own our Delaware C-Corp. Ownership is distributed based on actual contributions of time and expertise.

Every founder chooses between cash and equity:

  • More equity = less cash
  • More cash = less equity

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You will help guide Benno AI from internal prototype to mass adoption. That means:

  • Product Management (50%)
  • Define product requirements and priorities
  • Create wireframes and collaborate with designers
  • Coordinate with content creators and editors
  • Optimize user flows and conversion
  • Technical Project Management (40%)
  • Join tech meetings and translate requirements into tasks
  • Create roadmaps and Gantt charts
  • Track progress and keep development aligned
  • Quality Assurance (10%)
  • Manual testing of new features
  • Review bugs and suggest improvements

REQUIREMENTS

We are looking for someone with:

  • Strong product management experience in SaaS or tech products
  • Very high intelligence, self-motivation, and reliability
  • Excellent communication skills to keep the team aligned and motivated
  • Interest in AI, blockchain, and gamified SaaS products
  • Bonus: entrepreneurial experience in an online business

TIME & COMPENSATION

  • Time commitment: 15 hours per week (part-time, remote)
  • Compensation: Same model as all co-founders — a mix of equity and limited cash
  • As the company is not yet profitable, cash is minimal. Equity is the main compensation.

APPLYING

Click Easy Apply to send your profile. You can also connect with me directly and share what makes you stand out.

If selected, we’ll invite you for a brain-teaser interview to assess cognitive ability, creativity, and motivation — because we believe intelligence and drive matter most in a founder.

We are looking for a product manager who loves SaaS products, values great design, and understands how to build startups in fast-moving fields like AI and blockchain.
